stock bull,

I have to confess that I am not sure you will be achieving your objective by moving from bond funds to GNMAs , preferreds, etc. You may reduce your rate sensitivity somewhat, but you'll still have quite a bit, in my opinion.

Saw something recently about some iShares ETFs that invest in muni bonds and have a maturity date when the bonds mature (and presumably the fund liquidates). That's about all I know about them (first one "matures" in 2013, I think), so please do not consider this a recommendation.

Good Luck.

"I know that GNMA are rate sensitive, but I don't think they are as sensitive as long term bonds"

really? what do you think they are? 30 year paper that more likley last 30 years as rates go up. These things will get killed as rates rise.
